ROME, May 13 (UPI) -- Laura Robson posted a Rome International tennis tournament win Monday over Venus Williams that gives her a match against world No. 1 Serena Williams.
The initial draw had set up a potential all-Williams sister second-round match but Robson squashed that with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Venus Williams. Robson, despite facing 12 break points, won nearly 60 percent of the points on serve and lost her serve twice -- once in each set.
